Rible Hits for Seventh Straight Double-Double as Hens Hold Off BU

Christina Rible

NEWARK, DE -- Junior forward Christina Rible tied a school record with her seventh straight double-double with team highs of 18 points and 11 rebounds and junior forward Lindsay Davis came off the bench to score 15 points as the University of Delaware continued its winning ways with a 74-63 America East women's basketball victory over Boston University Thursday night at the Bob Carpenter Center.

Rible hit on 9 of 16 shots from the field for her 18 points as she tied the school record set by Lori Howard in 1979-80. The win gave Delaware (19-3, 13-0) its 14th straight win, 16th straight home win, and 21st straight America East regular season victory. Boston University (5-16, 2-10) got 16 points and seven rebounds from center Alison Dixon and 16 points from Katie Terhune but lost its 10th straight game. Delaware has now defeated the Terriers seven straight time.

The Blue Hens overcame a sluggish performance by shooting 68.2 percent from the field in the second half (15 of 22) and committing just 13 turnovers. The Terriers were hurt by 20 turnovers, including 17 in the first half.

Davis connected on three of five three-pointers and also added five rebounds, four assists, and two blocked shots while guard Cindy Johnson chipped in with 13 points. The Hens played without starting senior forward and third leading scorer Danielle Leyfert who was nursing a knee injury.

Boston University led most of the first half but the Hens used a 13-0 run and held the Terriers without a field goal for the final eight minutes for a 35-31 lead at intermission.

The Blue Hens led the game for the first 13 minutes of the second half but never by more than six points. The Terriers finally regained the lead at 59-58 with 6:51 left to play on a free throw by Alison Argentieri.

But Delaware reeled off 13 straight points over the next six minutes to put the game away, taking a 71-59 lead before the Terriers scored with 55 seconds left. Davis started the run with two free throws and iced the win with a three-pointer with 1:27 left to pace the Hens.
